Yassus all,
I've been trying to find an online Athens to Plympia coach/bus schedule that's up-to-date and in English. For various reasons, I haven't been able to.
I'm trying to find out the time of the last one and its cost. I want to go in a few days.
Can anyone direct me to a reliable website please, and that's in English?
Many thanks.
I just searched on athens to olympia bus. Here is one result:
http://www.greeka.com/peloponnese/olympia/greece/olympia-car-bus.htm
Athens-Pyrgos 07:30 (express), 08:00, 09:00, 13:00, 14:30 (express), 16:00, 17:15 (express), 19:00, 22:00. All of them except the last two (19:00 and 22:00) with correspondence from Pyrgos to ancient Olympia. Price : 30.10 Eur. (for the Athens-Pyrgos part)
I'm afraid the site of the local ktel company doesn't have an english page. But if you can organize some greek speaking help the page for online booking is :

"in a few days" - you don't mean the orthodox Easter, do you?
BTW if your main transport takes you to the port town of Katakolon, there is an inexpensive shuttle to and from the Olympic site, and there is a local train as well to the town of Olympia next door, that was even cheaper. We were there about 20 April last year, and the train was running.
